It was pretty much a foregone conclusion that Stephen would win the Regional Middle School meet after winning the High School varsity meet. Stephen set a PR today in the 1600 with a time of 5:15. He finished the 800 in 2:24.
The gun shot at the end of the 3rd lap is not for crowd control, but to let the other runners know that the lead runner is starting his final lap. In a recent meet one of the girl runners nearly had a heart attack when the gun went off. It startled her so bad it took her nearly 5 or 10 meters to regain her composure. Stephen says it makes him want to start sprinting.
Take a look at the video of the 1600 meter meet.
Stephen is the Mike Tyson of running! That is awesome.
